Description

This banana bread recipe yields a moist, flavorful bread that is perfect for breakfast or as a snack. It is made with ripe bananas, which add natural sweetness and moistness to the bread. This recipe is specifically designed for an 8x4-inch loaf pan, which is smaller than the standard 9x5-inch pan. The smaller size allows the bread to bake evenly and gives it a nice, compact shape.

Prep Time

The prep time for this recipe is approximately 15 minutes. This includes mashing the bananas, measuring out the ingredients, and preparing the pan.

Cook Time

The cook time for this recipe is approximately 50-60 minutes. The bread should be golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed

  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
